Inefficiency bugs me...  You can do multiple patterns with a single grep using
the -e flag.

grep -v -e ^# -e ^$ clamd.conf

Try (and there are surely others even shorter)

    egrep -v '^(#|$)' clamd.*f

That works too, but I was more concerned with the extra grep process than anything else. You also lose a bit of readability that way as you have to parse the (admittedly simple) regexp to figure out what it is doing.
